[Verse 1]
Bm                        G                 D
    It's the longest night of the darkest year
                         A               F#
The one you learned that life can go and disappear
Bm             G                         D
    And a holy light, you said God ain't here
                   A                        F#
Cause how could he explain the kind of pain you feel?


[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
  Said I just wanna hold you
               G
I don't really know if I can fix this, dear
D
  Hate to see you hurting
                 A
No, you're not a burden

I volunteer


[Chorus]
Bm                   G                       D
  Won't drown in the river, I'll swim out to you
               A                       Bm
I'll stand and deliver, I'll carry you through
                    G                          D
If you lose all the meaning of life, love, and truth
                A                        Bm
I'll stand and deliver, I'll show up for you


[Verse 2]
              G                   D
What comes to pass, don't come to stay
                   A            F#           Bm
We hate these ones we have, are dead by day
                  G                         D
As long as we are living, the desert is our life
                     A            F#
We'll hold onto each other in the darkness and the light


[Chorus]
Bm                   G                       D
  Won't drown in the river, I'll swim out to you
               A                       Bm
I'll stand and deliver, I'll carry you through
                    G                          D
If you lose all the meaning of life, love, and truth
                A                        Bm
I'll stand and deliver, I'll show up for you

            G                 D
I'll stand, stand and deliver
            A         F#       Bm
I'll stand, stand and deliver
            G                 D
I'll stand, stand and deliver
            A         F#
I'll stand, stand and deliver
